Dec 7

Filling out mileage paper work, and an old, late 70’s beaten down obviously very poor Veteran walked up to the other side of the table with a brand new camo “Veterans for trump hat”. I would bet my pay he draws SS, Medicare, Medicaid and VA disability.
All four are on Trumps cutting board. How the fuck does he think he will survive?
One of the dozens of billionaires in this IKEA cabinet gonna pay his bills? Wanted to slap that damn hat off his ignorant head.
Stupid is gonna bring the once mighty nation to its knees. From too to bottom stupid. Fucking stupid wins. Not high tech weapons of powerful bombs, just plain fucking stupid.
How god damned embarrassing.
